I guess, last episode of #Nix garbage collection woes when you have 6TB and more-sized stores, had enabled CA derivations in the past.
I didn't do proper root cause analysis yet, but it seems the GC of Nix is very insufficient for those scales and unable to work. Moreover, the database does not seem to be VACUUMed which makes operations very slow with a 60GB SQLite database.
Here's a simple albeit sad solution:
- Stop the daemon, move the SQLite DB and its *schema files.
